I usually make
my bags from scratch but I ran across a great deal on these sturdy
canvas bags so I snatched them up to save myself some time. I also
bought the Frida Altered Homage digital file from
TakeYourPicture.Etsy.com. For the reverse side I used a crow to tie
in with the crows on Frida’s picture. Next I bought some Halloween
fabric – crows of course, and gathered up some trims. Now we’re
ready to sew.

Opening the
top seam of the bag was simple and I pulled off the handles. We
don’t want boring handles so I covered them with a strip of fabric
which I’d gathered up the center. Then I made a lining for the bag
– exactly the size of the purchased bag. Now comes the best part –
the photos.

Digital art is
wonderful. It’s inexpensive and once you buy the file you can use
it again and again and again!

The art Lucia makes for Take Your Pictures is truly incredible! And when you print your file you’ll
be impressed with the quality of the pictures. Thank you Take
Your Picture and darling Lucia!!

I printed my
picture choices on canvas, cut them to the size I wanted, and sewed
them to my bag with a decorative stitch.

Next I added a few items to
give it a little dimension – a leaf on Frida’s side and a feather
for the crow. (Yes, that’s a real feather but the leaf is from a
silk flower.)
